Narrative Statement 4, Western United States Event, 2023

UNCLASSIFIED
The next day between 7-9pm I saw the same light phenomenon; however, I also saw what
appeared to be chemtrails approx. 10 finger lengths from the highest ridge point. I observed for
more than 10 minutes, the chemtrails were white and moved up toward the atmosphere. I did not
see any aircraft or lights at or near the chemtrails; I was observing from about 3k above ground
level. After 10 minutes, I saw 1 chemtrail disappear and the chemtrail below it made a U turn
and headed toward/falling towards the ground very quickly. At this time, I saw a plane in the
same direction (southeast) as the chemtrails. In tandem I saw a string of lights that resembled a
Starlink deployment. Shortly thereafter, I saw what appeared to be one light source just above
the Southeast ridgeline. The lights seemed to produce four smaller lights which traveled
downward as the main light source disappeared. Three of the smaller lights seemed to form a
horizontal line while the fourth traveled westward and away from the line of three. The four
lights were observed for approx. 10 minutes; no other lights were observed thereafter. Later in
the night while stationary in a vehicle on ground level, I watched at least one light source appear
and disappear along a mountain (approx. 4 miles away). The light moved from the top of the
mountain to the bottom of the mountain and at first looked like a vehicle traveling down the
mountain; however, the light darted between the top and bottom of the mountain within seconds,
which would not be feasible for a standard vehicle to do. Moreover, this was desert terrain and
very rough dirt roads; the light produced no dust cloud and moved steadily. I watched this light
traverse between mountain to mountain for approx. 30 minutes and saw a light appear from the
bottom of the mountain disappear and then another light would be seen at the top of the
mountain; unsure if it was the same light. At some point I saw a very bright, white light appear
just below a ridgeline. It was steady and did not pulse or hatch smaller lights. At first, it looked
like a star; however, it was big, very bright and looked like it was in front of and just below a
ridgeline from my eyelevel. The ridgeline was approx. 10 mins of a drive at 60 mph if I were to
guess. I drove towards the light and the closer I got the higher my gaze to look at it. As I was
getting close the light source disappeared from my field of view (right) and an equally bright
light appeared on my left at eye level. Again, I thought it might have been a vehicle but
continued to observe my left field of view while still traveling to get closer to the ridgeline where
I initially saw the first light. By the time I got onto a paved road both lights had disappeared.
The one near the ridgeline never appeared again and the one near the ground also never
reappeared. Later in the night between 1-3am I continued to see same distant lights appear and
disappear within the night sky. Fixed at a specific spot in the sky these lights movements were
different than the stars beyond it. I continued to see three or more lights group together, moved
in a horizontal line, evenly spaced together or move towards another cluster to form a shape, I
remember seeing diamonds or hexagons. It happened for a while that I got bored looking at
them.
A few days later at around the same time (after dusk) I saw lights moving horizontally just above
a ridgeline. Most appeared suddenly and traveled Northbound. Other lights were seen directly
overhead that were either very small or very far away. The lights seemed to cluster and create
patterns such as diamonds, triangles and/or moved in unison together.
The next day I saw at least four lights hovering and moving at approx. 6k above ground level.
The lights seemed to appear out of nowhere and moved horizontally northbound hovering
periodically. At approx. 400 meters away I saw an object that was slightly darker than the sky at
dusk and lighter than the color of the terrain. There was a faint red light on the object which was
